Are you a private rented client being threatened with eviction for reporting disrepair issues?

Please let us know if you have not asked your landlord for repairs or complained about conditions in your home because you are worried you will be threatened with eviction, or if you have been evicted or threatened with eviction when you have asked your landlord to repair the property.

Is the lower benefit cap affecting you?

We are particularly interested in:

Work - are you or your client trying to find work and if so, how are you managing this?

Debt - were you previously able to manage your money but are now struggling with new debts, or with paying essential household bills?

Housing - are you finding it difficult to remain in your home due to a reduction in housing benefit entitlement? Have Discretionary Housing Payments helped to mitigate any of the housing impacts and why (not)?

Support - what help is being made available? What is working well or not working well?
